Thanks the comments Mike! I'd love to get something nice and fast around the 30mm range. I love the 50mm f1.8 but in a boat it gets a little tight on a crop sensor.. I'll have to start bringing the 10-22mm with me as well. It's a bit slower, but I can get retard close to things with it as long as there is a decent amount of light out.

What are you trying to accomplish? I'd think something like the 17-55 2.8 would fit your needs wonderfully and give you a lot of play room if you wanted something faster then the 10-22. I love my 10-22 but for something with tons of detail I'd grab my 17-55 over it... It's not cheap but if you plan to stay in a crop sensor it's an amazing lens for the price (especially comparing price to EF lenses like the 16-35).

Kevin, the problem with taking pics of fish is that they rarely ever sit still for you. So waiting around for the 10-22mm (unless it's in full sunlight) usually leads to a fuzzy pic. I like the 50mm, but for close up shit in tight quarters, it's just a bit too long. I'd love something I could stuff into the fishes face, snap a quick pic (even in somewhat crappy light) and have a decent pic as a result.

17-55IS will do it. Sure it's not 1.8 fast but the IS makes up for it. I really need to use mine more but I did take about 300 pictures at the USAF museum and for as dark as it was, the 17-55 was incredible.

Maybe it's my shitty work monitor, but the whites are blown out to me... Again it could be this shitty monitor I'm on right now...

Yeah, 1/15sec is really easy with the 17-55. Almost all of my highest rated pics on flickr were taken with it.
This photo was taken with the 17-55. It's from a recent trip to the aquarium, and is #1 out of the 450 or so images in my photostream.

Don't you have a zoo or something with an aquarium? Our zoo aquarium is sort of week'ish' but they do have those floating cow manatees in a big ass tank. I've actually never been to the big local aquarium.

I'd kill for a large aviary (or any dedicated aviary) around here, but I think the closest thing are a few small ones at Zoo Atlanta. Guess I'm going to have to go find the damn birds for myself in their environment(s).
You'd like the aquarium, but it feels like I'm done after an hour or two. Last time I forced myself to hang around some exhibits waiting for shot opportunities. It's a surreal feeling to go there on a Tuesday when no kids are running around. Very few people surrounded by fish everywhere with a crazy, color changing lobby complete with a stingray petting pool. I'll have to see if I got a good pic of the open area between the exhibits later.

A knock-off 17-55 is a good idea for fishing. No loss if it's dropped over the side of the boat.

Good pic - love the colors. Only thing I don't like is how the actual frame itself starts to really separate as it goes out of focus (it actually might be one of the cables but it makes it seem like the frame is).

I'm going to see how the 18-55 kit lens holds up, lol.

a little blurry, but this was the best of the bunch. Taken last weekend at the zoo in DC. Used the 28-135 on my XT. Playing around with some settings in LR3. Momma and cubs
